Spanish term or phrase: 2'100,000
This is in a technical document form Ecuador and is talking about elastic modulus of steel
Módulo de elasticidad = 2'100,000 kg/cm2

Any ideas how this should be represented?

Explanation:
Given the units, I think we have to be talking about the Bulk Modulus.

Typically that's about 23*10^3 ksi.

So I suppose what you want is 21*10^3 ksi.
